Perplexity AI and NHF Partner to Develop Next-Gen Medical AI Infrastructure in Japan

Perplexity AI and the National Health Foundation (NHF) have entered into a strategic partnership to build a secure medical AI infrastructure in Japan. Emphasizing "Data Sovereignty," the collaboration ensures that sensitive medical data remains within Japanese governance and is not used for AI training through a "zero-retention" policy. By integrating Perplexity's advanced technology with government-backed domestic medical LLMs, the parties aim to develop PHR-based services and clinical decision support tools for healthcare professionals.
